Red Sox Rumors: Official Thread (Only links/reports)

Please read this, only post rumors in here. Be it tweets, links to articles, quotes, or etc but please let's keep this free of discussion so that we can all stay up to date with the latest rumors. Please read before posting something to make sure it hasn't already been posted. If a mod can sticky this, it would be appreciated.

It’s not clear how advanced the talks are, but the fit is obvious: The Red Sox have the ability to take on payroll after unloading roughly $250 million in contracts three months ago, and the Indians are willing to listen to offers for virtually every player on their roster.

The Red Sox are in on starter Anibal Sanchez, who after Zack Greinke is the consensus second-best starter available on the free-agent market.

The Red Sox are one of several teams, according to a source, who have expressed interest in the 28-year-old right-hander, who has strong links to the Red Sox and general manager Ben Cherington.

Cherington was overseeing international scouting for the Red Sox in 2001 when the club signed Sanchez as an international free agent from Venezuela. And seven years ago, Cherington was co-GM at the GM meetings at this same locale when the Red Sox set in motion a trade that sent the then-minor-league Sanchez, along with shortstop Hanley Ramirez, to the Marlins for Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell.

In case you guys missed anything, reports today have us out of the Upton sweepstakes, in on Napoli, Hunter, LaRoche and Anibal Sanchez, and we are discussing trades with Cleveland involving Choo and Masterson coming to Boston.

the red sox have interest in japanese right-hander kyuji fujikawa, reports nick cafardo of the boston globe (on twitter). The 32-year-old is a true free agent and has been the country's top closer for nearly a decade.

The red sox are casting a wide net in their search for outfield help and even checked in on grady sizemore, writes weei.com's rob bradford. Yesterday we heard that sizemore will try to play next season after missing all of this year due to injury.

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Rangers are unwilling to trade either Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar for Justin Upton.
As Heyman notes, that makes a trade "very unlikely." The Rangers and D'Backs have been viewed as obvious potential trade partners since the Rangers want outfield help and the D'Backs are looking for a shortstop or third baseman in exchange for Upton. But, it sounds like Arizona is going to have to look elsewhere.
